Tigerlily - More Heaving to



After a day of no wind and several hours of motoring we got what we wished for and then some! By 0630 today we decided to heave to for a few hours of much needed rest. The waves are 6-10 and the gusts are to 30 knots. We hoped it would calm a little but no such luck so we are running a beam with reefed main and staysail. 

We are headed about 150 COG but would like to turn east to 125, unfortunately the waves would probably cause an accidental jibe and we can't risk it. If we keep this speed and turn east soon we will be there late this evening, if not we any have to take the southern approach to the island. All crew members are hanging in there.
